I want to tell you about my favourite Polish series of books: The Witcher by Andrej Sapkowski. He has creted a cycle of tales based on the world of the Witcher, which was published in fantasy literary magazine "Fantastylia", comprising 3 collections of short stories and 5 novels. The main character is Geralt, a mutant who has been trained since childhood to hunt down an destroy monsters for the moneyh. Agaionst all appearances he's very sensitive and governed by knightly code. Computer games of The Witcher created by CD Project Red are based on this series. I'm so happy that these books have been adapted by Netflix. Have you read this series of books? With best wishes. 7/5/17

About Me

I'm a newly-retired fourth grade classroom teacher, I've taught fifth grade, middle school literature, and college-level children's literature. Now I work as an assistant in the Youth Services department of a big public library....heaven! Originally from New England, I spent 14 years in the glorious sunshine of Tucson, Arizona, and moved a year ago to south central Pennsylvania - a new adventure! I adore my kids, my grandkids (I got married at "age 9"), my students, books and reading, quilts and quilting, yarn and knitting, papercrafts and altering books, genealogy, letterboxing, - and hitting the road to adventure far and wide. There are only two states that I've not yet visited, but I'm determined to get to all of them, even if I have to row.... Next goal? Foreign countries? US capitals or major cities?
